I've been to Sierra Leone. It's a beautiful country. And, regardless if it's night or day, people are always
on the move.
We took the water taxi from the airport & that was a thrill. Good food & friendly people.
For sure Sierra Leone have the sweetest food
The hustle is on in Sierra Leone. I thought it was busy in Gambia when I was there but Sierra is right up there with getting the business.
Enjoyed the background music while looking at the people and the scenery.
Thanks you for visiting my country Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 and showing life style and it beauty ❤ 😍
This was great! I’m going to do more research on this country. The music Go Black was on point ✌🏿💕💕from Chicago (chi-town)
Greetings
Excellent video about Freetown. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, brother; I follow all your travels and blessed with your insights into the African continent… This particular video hits close to home because my parents are from Sierra Leone… Haven’t been back in over 20 years and thanks for rekindle the fire for repatriation to the motherland… Namibia is my country of choice though because it can provide the peace and quiet I need… Blessings and be safe out there, brother 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Namibia kind of looks like China IMO… Have u visited there?
@@queenofsheba357 yeah I have been and love the serene quietness of the place… Hate the noise of big cities where everyone is scheming for something… Love my Namibia 🇳🇦
I'm sooooo excited!!! My spirit has already been there but once my body does i don't know if ill cry or just speechless, I just love
You probably will cry sis, I had a moment on the Gambian beach in March. It is a completion of the circle.
Thank you i agree 🙋🏾😢✌🏾✊🏾🙏🏾👼🏾

I'm from Pakistan living in Europe since long time, but I'm always very fascinated with beautiful culture of Africa and I have a plan to live there for whole of life in future .
Great video! Freetown looks AMAZING!
The beauty of Africa though, much love from South Africa👋🏾😍🤩💜💜
where do you see beauty I. the video
@@maxa6453 natural landscape
Beautiful 😍 country thanks for showing our country the blessed land
Love the exploration content. May I request you do a visit to the sixth region of Afrika for us. Maybe Cap-Haitien in Haiti and some of the villages of North Haiti or the mountains of Jamaica
Living there or any other African country depends on the type of person you are.
Yep gonna say if people are attached to materialistic things & attention than Sierra Leone ain't for them.
totally agree
Nice, love the music and scenery. The views at the beginning of the video reminds me of Saint Lucia. Thanks for sharing.
My Home🇸🇱
Always living like one family
No tribe no Religion
No place like home 🇸🇱🥰😍❤️
Hello.. Keep GOING.GB2AFRICA...DOING YOUR THING..GOD IS WORTHY TO B PRAISE.....
A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a thousand pictures.
Oh wow so Beautiful there. You right It time to Goblack2Afrca ✈Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
My home 🇸🇱 Thank you for this
Greetings
I am counting down until my visit. I have my DNA results and my ancestors are Temne from Sierra Leone. I am so elated to be bringing my lineage home. I am looking to start a small private school. Any thoughts or suggestions??
Only to be conscious of what and how we teach our children. Enjoy your stay family. Be well.
He got happy well I think you would have to figure out what type of curriculum they need to carry on when they finish primary School. Definitely needs to learn black history. Government needs to start funding the schools with lunch programs for students who can't afford lunch and also printing out more money for their teachers. That should be the government's responsibility. This is why they are so behind because they have put a burden on a lot of the parents to pay school fees for children. Some parents have six and seven children even four or three could be taxing on their pockets.
I'm temne from Makeni, living in Woodbridge Virginia.
Yes Julia, let me come with you & start a FATHER & SONS RETREAT.
I'm a RETIRED TEACHER ......
Nice video. Puts me in the mind of Jamaica.
Love the music
Amazing. I am thinking of moving to Sierra leon. I need to know as much as i can about it.
Me too. I hunger to go my ancestral 🏡home and 👪family
Black ❤️ love...black love and unity....may Allah unite and save us....
I love my brothers and sisters all over the world 🌎❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️...much love from guinea 🇬🇳 I🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳
Being Black Period!!! ✌🏾✊🏾🙏🏾💖👑
I would love to be in the center of it all. Embracing the locals, the cultures...just the whole experience itself would be so amazing and beautiful.
Oh no chil', not me.
And the heat, crowds and chaos. And don't forget the hiked up foreigner prices when they know you're from abroad. Sierra Leoneans returning for the holidays are put in this category too😆.
But you will always be a foreigner to us anyway
@@ftim4192 that's only natural. Anyone that has a different accent and different colloquialisms is a foreigner in a host country. But I'm sure as usual Sierra Leonean people will be very welcoming.
@@ftim4192 that's the best you got to say about the more intelligent more creative more popular black diaspora, we know who we are even if you don't.
Thank you so much bro your doing good work we love you
Beautiful. Remind me of the Caribbean
Oh nice, not looking bad at all and Merry Christmas! Cheers Khadeeja Alghali-Rahman (London, UK)
Come visit kenema. I will show you what Sierra is REALLY ABOUT
Freetown is bustling!! Hey Happy Companion!!
MUSIC IS FANTASTIC GO BLACK!
Nice video but hustle is real here!
finally you are back
What is the name of the song on the video? It is beautiful and incredible?
Love the content! Hope to visit Sierra Leone again this year.
Beautiful place
Habari kaka. Welcome back, we missed you!!
WOW! That is a very congested place, omg. At least they have paved roads and the city is clean.
This is a very glossy video of Freetown. I wouldn't say it's an exactly accurate view of it. Check out Triple A, a Sierra Leonean UA-camr. He drives around by motorbike and gives a more accurate tour of what Freetown is like. There are nice areas but they are few due to terribleinfrastructure and town planning. Personally for me Freetown is too crowded and congested. I tend to go to the provinces and other towns.
@@jm6566 I just want to know with all those people why are there no farms, manufacturing, technical schools, construction, ect, I just left Tanzania for two months and headed back there again as a point to visit other African countries. What I've seen so far makes me cry being so mad at "Black" government. Seems they all are pitiful cowards in many many ways. They tell me that if they complain about anything or if a foreigner complains about them, within a week or two that person will disappear never to be heard from again. If a crowd is protesting, the gov. will send military to kill them all. Parden my rant.
@@BeeBee-wu1fz Tanzania has no freedom of speech so that’s what you get
@@BeeBee-wu1fz I welcome the rant cause it's coming from an honest place and you gave me info about Tanzania that I thought they'd overcome by now. Most African leaders are spineless. They are encouraged to stay in power and run their countries to the ground just do that foreign investors can get raw materials dirt cheap. Imagine the day all African leaders block all foreign investments. The world will literally ground to a halt economically!! Look at the Sierra Leonean government selling passports on the cheap with folks who've got various small amounts of Sierra Leonean dna(no offense to them)!! It's a disgrace and it cheapens the country. The government has no self-respect. The other world leaders never call out or shame African leaders mismanaging their countries cause they get cheap resources from them. That's why a lot of Africans don't stand a chance. We need leaders who actually care and have pride. It's most like it's lacking in their dna for them to make their countries beautiful and to provide adequate housing, water and sanitation.
@@jm6566 what is ur problem, which country in the world without poor place, stop been too negative . Sierra Leone is coming up like other countries in Africa. Triple a is just showing people who live in the diaspora places they have not seen for long time. Freetown is a beautiful city.
Thanks for showing my mothers land
I am from Liberia, live in New Jersey but have deep roots to Serria Leone .
Love my country and thank you for posting
Love here in Sierra Leone since almost one month..i will leave soon..but I will miss my wife from here in Sierra Leone also I will be back after 2022..
Bro I would love to live there they are living , no mask just the life that the LORD promised , when he said ..I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
Afrikan Amerikans love and support Sierra Leone.
Enjoy the peace in the land not everything is green buy God I'd in the centre of the land 🙏. Peaceful place to be can't wait they ate making thing difficult for us to go. But we will go in the Lord's Name
What about Haiti?...look similar.
This was a good episode
Thank you sir
Can someone share links for rentals
It seems that there has been little change since when I was there in 2007. I’m a Filipino-American married to a Salone. It seems that as the country has normalized a bit following the civil war, things have not improved if not getting worse. Basic infrastructure in the regions has improved but institutional capacity is still weak and there is no substantive economy other than the extraction industries. That hustle and bustle you see there is all informal-selling bongga, grafton, etc. The question asked, should you live there should also ask how difficult is it to find housing in Freetown or what the price of a built residence is selling for. Look around and you can find homes there selling for the same price as in California. As a potential investor in the agriculture sector, I see little opportunity to develop that sector because of the market conditions and because that lack of capable partners. At one point, I wanted to buy a plot of land there but now my mood has changed.
The country is beautiful, but I need more intel. Do they have fast internet that can support daytrading forex and stock market? I would have to earn income while living there. Hopefully you will dive deeper. Thanks for the content.
No they don’t. Am from Sierra Leone am planning to go back home to do some farming. I have about 35 acres I bought. That one thing I have to adjust to. I have being here for years now home is calling me. I want to help my people with some modern farming.
If you are going to live in the city and around the penusilar yes and even the big cities like BO, Kenema. and Makeni very good internet i just came from there last monday and i feel very much alive did not wear mask bustling very invigorating up and around by 7.00 am.
You best invest in solar energy then. They tend to have powercuts.
Beautiful
You look at alot of the people and they all have such a weariness and melancholy on their face. Just going thru the motions.
Yeah, but same as people in the West though.
My beautiful country mamasalone
Nice 👍🙂
It looks calmer than lagos. And the roads look better than Ghana.
Not an accurate image. It's 10 times more chaotic. And no way are the roads better than Ghana. They've stuck to videoing the better maintained roads.
Lmao 🤣 which Ghana are you talking abt? Sierra Leone has the worst infrastructure both in roads n everything after Liberia. Check out the country with the best infrastructure in west Africa
@@worldformatics this is what happens when UA-camrs don't give an accurate portrayal of places. Other folks are fooled into thinking places like Freetown are easy to manoeuvre in. And it clean and lovely there. I try to avoid Freetown anytime I go. Especially central.
@@jm6566 the sad thing is he probably hasn’t been to both Ghana and Sierra Leone before to arrive at their conclusion so I might pardon his ignorance. It’s even an insult to compare Sierra Leone roads to Ghana
@@worldformatics I'm going get my head ripped off by Sierra Leoneans who aren't facing the truth but unfortunately you're right. Ghana is literally 20yrs ahead of Sierra Leone who keeps regressing and not progressing.
This will be amazing to watch 100 years from now if the robots don’t replace us
Government corruption has avoided taking care of the Human Rights of Sierra Leone's population. No attention to basic health, nutrition, sanitation, water provision, education, etc. etc. What a shame!!!
I’m booking my flight I want my feet to touch the soul of my ancestors. I just return
You are most welcome home dear
Are you on top of Mt Lesters Peak?
so beaut i wanna go
We are healthy

Thank you, what a beautiful city! How is it to live there from what you have experienced?
Watch his other video where he analyses his stay there.
I've lived here 7 years and despite its challenges won't change it for anything.
Lion mountain🇸🇱🇸🇱
The city is so crowded
THE SIERRA LEONE SHOULD BE THANKFUL TO THE KENYAN ARMY GENERAL GENERAL OPANDA. HE WAS THE KENYA GENERAL HEAD OF TROOPS THAT ENDED WAR IN SIERRA LEONE AND NAMIBIA. THE PRESIDENT OF NAMIBIA GAVE HIM THE SECOND HIEGHEST HONOR IN THE COUNTRY. HE WAS ALSO IN LIBERIA COMMANDING THE ARMY.
We appreciate him and ball those who fought the war
Does it ever feel strange to be the only guys there with some European ancestry??
Dumb comment
The Real Question is: Does Sierra Leone want Black Americans to be there?
You’re obviously late to the party. Lol. Yes they are welcoming of Black Americans. If you can prove your DNA via African Ancestry is from Sierra Leone, you will get automatic citizenship.
@@blackbutterflyjourney I can accept that response.Thank you.
@@blackpilled4965 Nothing but 💗
open mind will give you the whole of Africa, not a slice in the name of Sierra Leon
They don't care where you're from as long as you've got money to spend.
Thanks but you need more information not showing us the streets
Get a drone black.. platform too big now.
Stop showing landscape and show real things like infrastructure, hospitals, schools and universities, roads etc.
Barack Obama is God. Jesus...
To save climate change and africa, the first order of business should be for africans to stop selling the chinese their wood, stop building wooden boats on the continent, stop using firewood, africa have steel, start building steel fishing trawlers, dredge all rivers for commercial use, build factories alongside the river, water should be collected before going to the sea for drinking and farming, where is the A.U. africa have all the rough materials to build fishing nets, instead of using the rivers foe dumping rubbish, recycle all over africa, move your waste by train to one place, you tube people must do a better job by educating the people and politicians, africa is still asleep, the 4 industrialized revolution is going to pass them by, all we are doing is happy talk and ask for likes , here we go begging again, wake you people up to the real reality of africa
I thought u were going to talk to somebody
All black. Why would anyone live there is my question
Scary
Just stay away from the Cities.
